Steps to Be Phoenix

The voice was lazy and even had some traces of sleep on it. Just from the voice alone, one could tell that this was someone who had been woken up from his sleep.

Luo Ming Shi softly replied with a voice as thin as a mosquito's.

When he looked down, he could see her long hair flowing down her shoulders like a waterfall. Even if he couldn't see her eyes, the man could imagine that her eyes were clear and bright.

The man casually let her go and sat on a chair to the side.

With his freedom, Luo Ming Shi heaved a sigh of relief. She then heard the man behind her, his voice tinged with amusement. "You don't seem to be afraid of me."

The thoughts in Luo Ming Shi's heart became clearer, and he replied calmly: "You don't have the intention to kill me, so why should I be afraid of you?"

Hearing that, Luo Ming Shi frowned, but he heard that person saying, "Since you aren't afraid of me, then why don't you dare to turn around and look for me?"

Luo Ming Shi calmly replied as if he was following the flow, "I thought you didn't want me to see your face."

Luo Ming Shi thought, that person originally did not want to kill her, but after being seen by her appearance, he wanted to kill her to silence him, what should he do?

Who knew that after hearing it, the man would still laugh softly, but it was obvious that he was laughing joyfully. Luo Ming Shi did not understand, but while standing there, he heard the man finally stop, and said softly: "Afraid that I think you know too much, and want to kill you again?"

Luo Ming Shi did not say anything, although the man had already guessed what he was thinking, but he was not embarrassed, and did not move.

When that person saw him, he said, "You should know that if I wanted to kill you, it would be extremely easy. If you still don't turn around, I'll kill you right now."

Luo Ming Shi frowned, this man did not follow common sense, but the feeling of being threatened and being unable to resist made Luo Ming Shi feel that it was not good.

The man saw Luo Ming Shi's reaction, and laughed again, as if Luo Ming Shi had amused her.

Luo Ming Shi suddenly realised that this person really liked to laugh. He had only seen him once, and this person had laughed at him thrice.

However, the dagger that was shaking non-stop suddenly froze, he was stunned when he saw Luo Ming Shi's face.

Luo Ming Shi only saw the man smile, his lips moved slightly: "It's actually you."

Luo Ming Shi heard and frowned, "You know me?"

"I don't know him." After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Both of them were afraid of attracting others, so they lowered their voices and moved closer. For a moment, it was as if a couple of lovers were rubbing against each other.

Luo Ming Shi was speechless for a moment, and he pulled the distance between the two of them even further. After being silent for a while, he suddenly spoke out: "You are delaying us."

The man did not answer, but only slowed down the dagger in his hand.

Luo Ming Shi said again: "You're injured, and someone is chasing after you. You ran all the way here in a panic, and didn't expect to meet me inside the house."

The person leaned in closer to Luo Ming Shi and whispered, "How can you be fleeing in panic? Don't make me sound so bad." This sentence was a disguised admission of his words.

As he spoke, he exhaled hot air onto Luo Ming Shi's neck, causing him to retreat backwards in shock.

Seeing him openly admitting it, Luo Ming Shi looked at him again, but other than the corner of his mouth raised, he could not see anything else.

"Since you don't want to touch me, I also don't want to meet you. I will pretend that I didn't enter this room, so you can do as you please. As for me, I am going to sleep now." With that, without waiting for his response, Luo Ming Shi turned and walked over to the bedside.

But unexpectedly, the man stood up and followed her. Luo Ming Shi seemed to have sensed something, he immediately turned around, and saw that the man was only a foot away from her. He said shamelessly: "If you do not care about me, I will die here, and at that time, how will you explain yourself to the people outside?"

Luo Ming Shi did not believe it, but he could smell the thick stench of blood lingering around her. Luo Ming Shi could not help but size him up, and the man even used his own clothes to expose his wound to her.

A great crimson stain on his chest, in her eyes.

The man had expected her to scream, but instead he saw her standing there frowning, her eyes still measuring her injuries.

"Your injuries are not light, but you can still be so lively. It must be because your body is slightly better, and nothing will happen to you."

That person laughed again. Accompanied by a low sound of panting, he said: "You're actually trying to say that my body is too weak, right?"

Luo Ming Shi could finally hear the weakness in the voice, and could not help but raise his head to look, only to see that there was no longer any trace of blood on the man's lips, and his heart was still hesitating.

Suddenly, he saw that the person was already falling towards her, Luo Ming Shi anxiously used both of her arms to support him, but how could a little girl be able to support him, he was knocked back a few steps, and only when her back was against the bed pillar did she finally stop, the two of them avoiding the fate of falling to the ground.

At this moment, the man's entire body was being pressed against Luo Ming Shi's, and was even being tightly embraced by Luo Ming Shi. However, Luo Ming Shi was holding the man tightly, and his height had only reached the man's chest, and his face was practically facing the bloody wound.

Although he did not fall to the ground, he was not feeling very well. The dense smell of blood gushed into Luo Ming Shi's mouth and nose, causing him to feel pain in his chest.

"Heh, the little girl is pretty strong."

Luo Ming Shi had already personally experienced how serious this man's injuries were, but he was still joking around. Luo Ming Shi felt helpless, he was originally hesitating whether to save him or not, but now, he had no choice.

Luo Ming Shi did not care about what he said and only tilted his head to the side. After he panted a few times, he used all his strength to drag the man onto the bed. Fortunately, the two of them were already by the bed.

Only when Luo Ming Shi finally threw all his weight on the bed and got up to look at the man did he realize that the only thing that remained of his lips was a thin pinch. The smile that had been hanging on his lips the whole time had already disappeared, as if he had fainted.

His injuries were indeed too severe. That person must have reached his limit after forcing himself to stay unconscious for such a long time.

The dagger that was originally used to threaten her neck was pinned to her waist the moment she stood up.

Luo Ming Shi reached out to grab it, and easily grabbed hold of the dagger, and with a slight force, pulled it out again.

After sizing it up, he felt that this dagger was truly a sharp tool for harvesting human heads. Just looking at it caused him to feel a chill run down his spine.

Holding the dagger in his hand, his gaze shifted to the person lying on the bed. The scene of how he threatened her flashed through his mind once more.

Luo Ming Shi was furious, he used the dagger to quickly approach the man's neck, then tightly pressed it against his neck to the left and right of him, then fiercely suppressed it, with threatening snorts coming out from his mouth from time to time.

She seemed to want to return everything that the man had done to her, so she gave up. She raised her hand again and the dagger was put back into the sheath.
